(if I’d had the idea for the thread in the first place) Sounds like one of those made-up words… or an unnecessary amplification of an existing word. F\_X ---

I used to be **Tretiak** and thanks to my own stupidity was able to get that one 86’d by the powers that be (after well over a thousand posts) and I am now the Eight-legged Mobster. I didn’t bother to ask to have post totlas or other vitals transferred. ---

Don’t ask me how I know, I just do. 😃 Now, back to the post I was going to make before I got distracted by the need to update my blog and LJ. (with pretty much the same thing) **Troy McClure SF** used to be known as **jjtm**. It’s in his sig, and I believe he changed it to avoid confusion with **jjimm**. (I admit I was mixed up between them for a time, so I’m glad he changed it) F\_X ---

You might remember me from MPSIMS threads such as “I’m Having a Baby - Right Now!” and “Darn You, Pregnancy Hormones!” Yes, I am a woman, chick, broad or whatever appelation you like to apply to female type poster people.

Wow. This thread clears so many things up for me. I had no idea that **Ellen Cherry** was the same Ellen as **Ellen**. I always wondered where she went. Ellen I mean. I also had no clue that **Mockingbird** was **Hastur**. Just as long as we don’t revisit the whole **Mr. Cynical** unpleasantness.😉 ---

wasn’t **seal\_cleaner** a tad less helpful to the critters once upon a time in the guise of **seal\_clubber**? I was once **Farkle** but had a little trouble with a (now deceased) stalker figuring that out (gosh my life sounds far more exciting than it feels) so **TubaDiva** kindly wiped **Farkle** from existence without asking or knowing what name I would choose, it seemed appropriate that an extinct aussie rise in her place. ---

Actually, **tubadiva** mentioned it offhandedly in a reply to my request for help changing my email address. (Was my face red when I realized she wasn’t my ISP!) I was glad to oblige - but it was a great name. Do you remember that adorable baby seal on the cover of National Georgraphic 20 years ago? Wanted to just grab a fireplace poker, didn’t you? I know I sure did. Uh, sorry, **tuba** ☹ ---
